Click on this photo to alleviate all your fears about the proposed National Health Care Plan being rammed through Congress. One glance and you will see that brilliant minds have been at work on this to produce for us the most simple, obvious, and soon-to-be most well-run government program in the history of bureaucracy. I feel safer already.

Orrin Woodward and I have been pleasantly surprised at the overwhelming response to the release of our latest book, Leadership and Liberty: Pieces of the Puzzle. It seems people are ready for a message like the one brought forward in the book.I would like to hear from you three readers (of this blog) about the book. What passages spoke to you the most? What did you learn? What do you disagree with? How many of the books in the suggested reading list have you read? Have you shared the book with anyone yet? What was their response?
These questions are important to us because we are doing all we can to fight for liberty, freedom, and justice for all. Your feedback will help us get better at delivering the message. Thanks for joining the conversation!

Don't forget to actually live while you're alive. Life is deceptively easy to squander, first minute by minute, then day by day, unto years. Take the time to reflect on your true priorities. Then live them. If you do, you will be among the rarest breeds on earth; that marvelous species that lives on purpose. -
It's finally time for another caption contest. Do your worst!

The uniform of leadership is thick skin.Winners play hurt.
The battle in the trenches of habit is where success is won or lost.
Leaders are dealers in perspective. In a crisis, leaders keep their heads because they keep their perspective.
The pursuit of service and significance is the surest route to happiness.
Everyone will be called upon for leadership at some point in his or her life. Not everyone will be ready.
Not all of us die in the end. Some do in the middle.
Most people have a point at which their pragmatism overcomes their principles.
These are some of my recent Tweets on Twitter. If you would be interested in following for more, see me at www.twitter.com/rascaltweets
Lead on, the leadership revolution needs you!

Decisions are easy to make if you are clear on your priorities. Also, clear priorities lead to productivity. It's when people respond to the urgent more than the important that things go off track. Or, when everything is important, nothing is important. When everything is urgent, nothing is urgent.
So do yourself a favor. Sit down in a quiet moment (even if you have to force the time) and make a clear list of the priorities for every major part of your life and for each project on which you are working. Once equipped, begin scheduling your time accordingly. When things come up, refer back to your priority list to determine if they are worthy of immediate response, delayed response, or no response. After a while, when your priorities are clear enough in your head, you will be able to handle this sorting process without referring to your list.
Living your life by your priorities and scheduling your tasks accordingly is the launch pad for massive productivity. The compounding effect of this, over time, will blow your mind. Anything less is slovenly, and rest assured, your best competition will be the one with the clearest, most focused priorities. Don't give them a free advantage.

Leaders are readers, and there is no short cut around this fact.
Comb the pages of nearly any history and you'll discover the scholarship of the doer of great deeds. Standing on the shoulders of giants, the hero dares from his lofty summit to attain an even higher peak.
Reading good books is oxygen to the brain and nourishment for the soul. It can inform, inspire, and instill the wisdom of the ages. Proper perspectives come into view as one's mental map more closely approximates the territory through informed learning.
Formal education may be fine. But for most, it is finite. True education is neither formal nor finite. It occurs informally but intentionally all the time and until death. That's the truth for leaders.
Are you called to leadership? Are you stirred to affect some great change? Are you dreaming of a vision of a brighter future? Are you inspired to attack the status quo? Take some age-old advice to take some age-old advice. Become an intentional, enthusiastic, consistent, hungry, determined reader, and the result, inevitably, is that you'll become a leader.
